Zucchini Sandwich returning on Weds 7/22

Lucia July 17, 2026

As we’ve continued our re-opening phase, we’re starting to bring more and more seasonal produce onto the menu. The Zucchini Sandwich is one of my favorites we do all year. There’s a thick slice of glazed tofu from Heiwa in Maine. Basil mayo. Fresh raw zucchini that we cut into half-moons. Snappingly fresh corn. And shiso, which is a Japanese herb that tastes like a cross between mint and basil, with slight licorice-y notes. It’s sweet/salty/fresh and super addictive. Fun fact: this is the first sandwich where…

Your pita supports Northeast grains

Lucia July 15, 2026

Matt, who leads up food sourcing, let us know that we got our first order of Coastal Queen flour last week. The packaging is cool – it shows how many acres of local grain you’re supporting by buying each bag. Coastal Queen is a new line from Ground Up Grain, which evolved from a really cool organization called Valley Malt. If you’ve been reading this blog for years, you might remember us going out to visit Andrea out in Western Mass. She was one of the early pioneers in…

Spring Romesco Sandwich v2

Lucia April 17, 2026

Creamy red pepper romesco is the star of the newest Clover sandwich, which has been in-testing at CloverHSQ (1326 Mass Ave) and CloverHSC (1 Oxford St) the past few weeks. Lots of people loved it; lots of people have eaten it more than once; but others said it lacked a bit of crunch and heft. So we’re trying out a new version starting today at lunch – come through and let us know what you think by voting on our sticker banner.

Mexicali sandwich emerges after 6 years

Lucia March 31, 2026

Jenny created the Mexicali Mushroom in late February 2020. We tested it at our Kendall location and everyone loved it! But then Covid hit, and it never made it to primetime. A few months ago we were talking about what mushroom sandwich could possibly be worthy to replace the Mushroom Popper when it goes off the menu for a bit. I think Chris was the one who recalled the Mexicali Mushroom. It has a chipotle mayo, crimini mushrooms fried in the style of a fish taco, a juicy cabbage slaw, and a cilantro garlic pesto/salsa creation…

There’s even a sticker on the ceiling!

Lucia March 26, 2026

Every time we test out a menu item, we ask you all to vote on whether it deserves a place on the menu using stickers placed on a banner – high up if you liked it, low down if not. We were testing the Korean Fried Chicken at Harvard Science Center, and when asked how the testing was going, Brendan (GM) said, “There’s even a sticker on the ceiling.” “A STICKER ON THE CEILING?” I exclaimed. And it was true. Here’s the photo proof

“Kid legend in our home” – meet the Maple Box

Lucia March 3, 2026

March is a magical, delicious, sticky, snowy, sunny time of year. Even though a lot of produce isn’t in season yet, we get maple sugaring season, when nighttime temperatures drop below freezing, but the days begin to feel balmy. That’s when the sap begins to run and the boiling-down begins. Family-run Sugar Shacks open their wooden doors and set out their checkered tablecloths, and we launch our Maple Box.

The Carrot Habanero Lime Sandwich is back

Lucia December 30, 2025

Just in time for your New Year’s Resolution to eat more carrots! Spicy, sweet, and limey, it’s the only Clover sandwich to have a love letter written to it (by an avowed carnivore no less!) Paul dreamed up the Carrot Sandwich back in 2017: carrots two ways (habanero carrot hot sauce, roasted carrots), creamy feta sauce, cabbage lime slaw, and fried farro for crunch). It went through 3 versions before getting to the one you love today.

King Brussels returns

Lucia November 24, 2025

The moment you’ve waited for is here. Western Mass Brussels sprouts are back in the restaurants, which means the King himself has landed! What’s on this glorious sandwich and why is it the King of all seasonal sandwiches? A dijon-mayo spread, smoked Grafton cheddar, fried Brussels tossed with za’atar (a Middle Eastern spice blend), pickled red cabbage, and toasted hazelnuts.
